Former finance minister P Chidambaram’s son Karti Chidambaram did not appear before the CBI in a corruption case despite a summons.
He has asked for more time, CBI officials said on Friday. He was asked to appear before the CBI between June 27 and 29 in connection with the investigation into the clearance given by Foreign Investment Promotion Board to INX Media for receiving funds from Mauritius when Chidambaram was the finance minister.
Cases were also registered against ASCS’s director Padma Vishwanathan and INX Media’s Peter Mukerjea and his wife Indrani Mukerjea, who are currently in jail.
